Sunday, August 30, 6:30-8:30 PM, NPBCEver feel like you’re just spinning your wheels? Ever wonder what will come of all your hard work? What if you could identify one step to take, and be confident that it will make a lasting difference? Join us at Make a Difference to be encouraged and equipped to engage our mission of leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ!
Our time together will be guided by the questions, “How can I know that what I’m doing will have a lasting spiritual impact? How can I really make a difference?” We’ll start with an inspiring message about the value and power of the gospel, followed by workshops where we’ll get extremely practical, actually trying out possible next steps that each of us can take to make a difference – right where God has us, right now. Get more details and sign up to join us – visit npberean.org/engage or pick up the flyer from the information center.
Due to scheduling conflicts, we are postponing the Family Fish Fry that was planned for August 9. We’re not quite sure of all the details yet, because we’re also working to make it an even better event for the whole family. Stay tuned!

Sunday, August 2, 11 AM, 252“Mommy, why did Jesus die on a cross?” “Daddy, how do Christians get to heaven?” Kids have a way of asking important faith questions in ways that make us stare blankly ahead, wishing the other parent was there instead of us. We understand the answer to the question but struggle to explain it to our kids in a way that really communicates truth in a way they understand. Parents, join your kids in 252 at 11:00 on August 2. You’ll leave with an understanding of how to talk with your child about the gospel. We’ll also talk about the next step of baptism and how we want to partner with you at these key spiritual milestones. START HERE – leading kids into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
